"How's the information I asked you to find for me coming along?" Iris asked, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Flora, who was like a startled cat.
“I’ve found some, and I’ve copied them down. I’m still looking.” Flora nervously handed the notebook she had been copying to Iris.
Elise casually flipped through the pages and glanced at them. Flora's handwriting was very neat, so her notes were easy to read. She even noted at the end of each passage which book and section it came from, showing her meticulousness.
Closing her notebook, Elise took out the gift she had prepared earlier: a tattered suit of armor that suddenly appeared before Flora.
Flora was startled at first and slumped into her chair, but after noticing the magical circuits on the armor, she stood up again and stared intently at it.

His fanatical demeanor was as if he had been bewitched by Elise.
"This is for you, consider it payment for helping me find the information."
"Can we really talk about this? | On this armor, there are three complete ancient magical circuits, and also fifteen incomplete ancient magical circuits!"
“I know, but I’m not interested in or know anything about this, so I’m giving it to you. You’ll have to continue helping me find some information about the Insect Queen and the Earth Goddess, and I’ll give you a reward for that.”
"Then, then I'll really accept it?"
"Take it."
After receiving Elise's affirmative response, Flora carefully placed the armor on the ground beside her as if it were a precious treasure. Without a spatial ring, she could only wait until after get off work to take it back and study it.
After putting the armor away, Flora looked at Elise again and suddenly felt that Miss Elise wasn't so scary after all.
"Alright, let me know if you find any results from the research. I'm off now."
"Ok!"
Iris waved to Flora and then turned and left the library. She had achieved her goal of coming to the Magic Academy, so there was no need for her to stay any longer.
As Illumi left the library and was about to head to the teleportation hall, eight familiar faces appeared before her.
It was Vivian who had cried in front of her yesterday.
You can see Vivian sitting in a wheelchair at the foot of the steps, looking somewhat helpless.
Elise could tell at a glance that Vivian was faking it.
Even if she couldn't move her legs freely, there should be someone around to ensure her safety. But now she's all alone, clearly someone is deliberately waiting for her here.
At this moment, should I go up and bully her a little? Or...?
As if she had thought of something interesting, Elise also walked over to Vivian's side and said, "Do you need any help?"
Upon hearing the sound, Vivian turned to look at Elise walking towards her. Seeing the faint smile on her face, she felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart once again.
Suppressing her discomfort, Vivian also showed a hint of panic: "Miss Elise, no, no need to trouble yourself, I..."
Before Vivian could finish speaking, she was picked up by Elise. As a follower of the Gluttonous King, she had stuffed so much stuff into the trash can that her physical strength was almost on par with a third-tier warrior or knight, so picking up Vivian was nothing to her.
Even Vivian didn't expect that Elise would pick her up directly.

Six. Her panicked expression froze on her face. For some reason, being lifted up in Elise's arms, she felt a strange warmth and sense of security. The fragrance emanating from Elise, like morning dew on flowers, also intoxicated her.
It seems... at some point, she felt like she had been hugged like this by the other person before.
But she couldn't find any related memories.
Elise casually put Vivian's wheelchair into her spatial ring, then carried her downstairs. She took the wheelchair out again and gently placed Vivian on it, her movements as if she had done it countless times before.
"Alright, no need to thank me."
Seeing that Elise was about to leave, Vivian instinctively reached out and grabbed the hem of Elise's skirt.
"Miss Vivian, is there anything else?"
"Thank you, thank you." Vivian's action was actually subconscious; she subconsciously didn't want Iris to leave.
"I already told you there's no need to thank me."
Watching Elise's retreating figure, Vivian silently pressed her right hand down, afraid that she would reach out to stop her again.
After Elise left, a girl in a school uniform emerged from a secluded corner and approached Vivian from behind: "Miss, are you alright?"
"fine."
At this moment, the tension and panic on Wei Lingwei's face were gone, replaced by deep thought and doubt.
The reaction of Yili in the group chat just now was obviously wrong. It would have been fine if she hadn't been bullied or taken advantage of, but she even took the initiative to help her go downstairs.
Is there a possibility that Illyrins is not Illyrins, and that her inner self has been replaced by (some other person or entity)?
And why do I feel familiar with her? And what is this feeling of heart throbbing?
"Haven't we found any information about Elise yet?"
"We're already looking for it, and if all goes well, it should be in your hands tonight."

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes. She could actually sense a trace of impatience in her mistress. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen her mistress have such emotional fluctuations.
Three years ago, or five years ago?
Book 1: Chapter 53 The God of Justice is Not Just
"You've been laughing at the gloves for half an hour."
Elise looked helplessly at Elena, who was still grinning foolishly. While Elena was at the academy, Elena had taken advantage of the time to complete the rich young lady's request using her information.
The multi-functional magic glove she's wearing now is the reward for this mission, worth a thousand gold coins.
"This is a treasure worth a thousand gold coins!"
Elena gently stroked the glove on her left hand, a soft movement that made Iris raise an eyebrow, as if she were recalling something.
"Fine, whatever you like. Just don't forget you have to work for me for another month without pay."
"Okay, if you're not busy here, I'll go to the training ground to try out my new equipment."
"Go ahead, I'll go check on Wendy's studies."
Just as Elise was about to get up and go upstairs, Elena seemed to remember something and said to Elise, "I almost forgot, I heard some news when I was busy with my commission this morning: the King of the Abandoned Streets has been killed."
"The King of the Abandoned Streets is dead?" Elise was somewhat surprised.
The King of Abandoned Street is the leader of the largest gang in Abandoned Street, with many subordinates and a strength level of five.
But this is only his public identity. The King of the Abandoned Street is actually a man of the Second Prince, who specializes in handling all sorts of shady dealings.
Logically speaking, it wasn't his time to die yet, so why did he die?
Since her rebirth, there have been so many variables that she can hardly see the future.
But for Elise, change is a good thing.
"Any questions?"
"It's nothing, but if you have the chance later, please help me find out who killed him."
"Fine, but with your intelligence network, do you really need me to find out?"
"Unfortunately, my intelligence network isn't omnipotent either."
After Elise finished speaking, she went straight upstairs to the study. Wendy was sitting by the window, quietly reading a book. Hearing the noise, she looked up at Elise, smiled gently, and said, "You're back."
"You've been reading here all day, would you like to go for a walk?"
Upon receiving Elise's invitation, Wendy didn't hesitate to put the book into her spatial ring. Then, she stood up and walked to Elise's side, her clear, light green eyes sparkling with excitement: "Where are we going?"
"It's a potentially dangerous place, so you'll have to protect me then."
She had given all the supplies she had stored to the little maid, and now she needed to replenish them, so she took Wendy along to broaden her horizons.
This time, Elise didn't bring Elena along because with Wendy around, her safety was generally not a problem.
After passing through the dry well behind the manor, Elise returned to the basement of that house, and then headed towards the abandoned street from there.
Wendy stayed close to Elise, curiously looking around.
To prevent this curious child from getting lost, Elise simply grabbed her hand: "It's a bit complicated here, so you can't just let go of my hand."
"Mm." Wendy nodded seriously, and tightened her grip on Elise's hand.
Although the King of the Abandoned Street was assassinated, his death did not affect the operation of the Abandoned Street. However, the Abandoned Street was indeed much more lively than usual today.
Elizabeth led Wendy skillfully through the winding alleys and arrived at Old Vic's general store.
Pushing open the door and entering, the shop was unremarkable. Only a hunched old man sat behind the counter, raising his head only when he heard the sound of a bell: "Ladies, what would you like to order?"
"Everything on this list."
"Oh, you are that generous young lady. Please wait a moment, I'll prepare it for you right away." Old Vic got up and went into the back room, not caring that there was no one watching the shop, leaving Elise and Wendy there.
Wendy looked at the items on the shelves with curiosity, while Elise casually remarked, "These are just ordinary chores; the good stuff is in that room."
"Oh." Although they were all common things, Wendy didn't lose interest, and Elise could only patiently explain to her what they were.
About ten minutes later, Old Vic returned to the counter and placed everything Elise needed on it.
With her system, Elise only needed to glance at the items to know if anything was missing or underweight. However, she wasn't in a hurry at the moment. Instead, she checked the items while asking, "Mr. Vic, I heard that the King of the Abandoned Streets was assassinated. Do you know what happened?"
“How would a grocer like me know about those big shots?” Old Vic chuckled, then continued, “But I heard that someone from the Assassins’ Association has accepted a commission to kill the King of the Ruined Street. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"I see."
Elise nodded thoughtfully, then put everything on the counter into her spatial ring, and a large money bag appeared in her hand: "Please confirm that the amount is correct."
"An extra hundred gold coins." Old Vic knew the amount of gold coins inside without even opening the bag to check.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a tip for Mr. Vic’s hard work.”
Old Vic flashed a bright smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Then thank you, beautiful lady. Please feel free to come to me anytime you need anything."
"Ok."
After leaving Old Vic's general store with Wendy, Elise also suppressed her smile. She couldn't help but think of the little maid. After all, Misha had just taken leave when the King of the Abandoned Street was killed. No matter how you looked at it, it was too much of a coincidence.
However, Misha's audacity in attempting to assassinate a fifth-tier being with only third-tier strength is simply audacious.
Although we succeeded, we must teach her a good lesson when she gets back.
Just then, Wendy's voice rang in Elise's ears: "Just now, that old man was acting a little strange."
"Well, think about it, this is an abandoned street, one of the most dangerous places in Seria. Do you think it would be easy for him to open a general store here?"
"You... seem to know his identity?"
"I know, but if you want to know too, you have to wear a maid outfit for one day tomorrow, how about that?"
“Okay.” Full of curiosity, Wendy agreed without hesitation. As for the maid outfit, she didn’t care at all. Not to mention the maid outfit, she would even be willing to not wear it at all if Elise asked her to.
Elise didn't discuss the other person's identity right at their doorstep. She pulled Wendy to the black market before whispering, "Old Vic is a chosen one of the gods of justice and believes in the principle of equal exchange. You can make deals with them, but you must never owe anyone a favor, or you will pay an extremely heavy price."
"why?"
"The god of justice is not just."
Book 1: Chapter 54 Miss Wendy's Desires Are a Little Strange
"Alright, I've told you what you wanted to know. I'll have someone prepare a maid outfit tonight, remember to wear it tomorrow."
"Um……"
Although Elise answered one of her questions, she also raised a new one. She was now very curious to know why the God of Justice was unjust, but Elise clearly had no intention of continuing the discussion, so she could only suppress her curiosity for the time being.
Since they were already there, Elise took Wendy to explore the black market.
In this place, although both of them were wearing cloaks for simple disguise, their temperament and appearance were so striking that anyone with eyes could tell that they were definitely rich young ladies or noblemen.
In a place like the black market, the two of them were like easy prey, easily attracting the attention of some people.
As Elizabeth and Wendy were about to leave after a stroll, they were unsurprisingly blocked in the alleyway again.
"Should we kill him?" Wendy's voice remained gentle, as if she were discussing dinner with Elise.
"No need, they're the ones I'm waiting for."
A look of pleasure appeared in Elise's eyes. After a moment of stunned silence, the expressions of the group quickly turned fervent. Their eyes no longer held any malice as they looked at Elise, like fanatics facing their god, ready to give everything, even their lives.
"I need you to keep an eye on the abandoned street for me. If there's anything unusual, remember to report it to me."
"Yes!"
